EVENT | Ibiza Spirit Festival

Ibiza is increasingly home to festivals that push the boundaries of their genres. From electronic music festivals such as the Ibiza Music Summit, to World Music celebrations such as the Ibiza Roots Festival. From huge weekend extravaganzas like the famous Ibiza Medieval Festival, to small, local, crowdfunded festivals like Ai Carai. Plus a whole ream of recent art festivals, from surrealist Bloop to Urban in Ibiza, showcasing cutting-edge street art and held in the lavish gardens of the incomparably beautiful Atzaró.

So it’s really no surprise to see another small, local
festival, now in its second year, having blossomed quickly into an event
that half the island seems to be enthusiastically involved in. The date
for your diary ladies and gents, is Sunday October 5, 2014.

Celebrating life

Ibiza Spirit Festival
is a holistic event with a fascinating programme that spans dance,
Tantra, workshops and talks, Yoga, a chill-out zone, music therapists,
birthing woman, oracle readers, special events and a fabulous children's
area. While last year’s resoundingly successful inaugural event was at
Casita Verde, this year they’ve grown, expanding into the much larger,
stunning surroundings of Atzaró. For the full programme, just check out
their website.

The organisers, Jerry and Sabina Brownstein, assisted by local media good guy, David Moss and Café del Mar
producer Ingmar Hansch, have declared the day long event ‘a day of
inspiration and celebration.’ All are devoted to promoting 'conscious
living' to improve health, happiness and longevity.

A World transformed

The organisers are collectively focused on providing a day
that provides a glimpse into an alternative reality, one in which the
participants (that’s you and me) get to envision ‘a World transformed.’

Transformed into what? You may ask. And rightly so. The
answer, in short, is a World transformed for the better of all. One that
embraces freedom, equality, cooperation, compassion, respect and joy in
each other's lives. This isa World of singing and
dancing, to inspire and be inspired by, an inclusive, peaceful World of
art, of beauty, of learning and playing.

Well we definitely like the sound of all that!

Ancient Rituals

The event runs from 11am until 8pm and entry is by voluntary donation.
You can expect a dramatic closing ceremony from 7.30pm, with
accomplished performer Zinnia performing a beautiful sacred dance for Tanit,
the ancient Carthaginian Goddess of Ibiza. She will dance for Tanit as
an ancient priestess, asking for blessings of prosperity, joy and
protection.

Naturally, Atzaró will be providing delicious food & drinks for the occasion.

The festival is sponsored by Greenheart Transforms and
Fundacion por el Futuro, two non-profit organisations dedicated to
“envisioning a World transformed”. These charities generously fund
positive projects, conferences and events throughout the world. All
donations generated from the event will assist these two organisations
with their various existing and future projects.
